mac vs. urban decay vs. too faced

[#1]

ok so i've heard rave reviews about urban decay eyeshadow and im wanting to get some sometime soon. right now i use mac eyeshadow and pigments and i think they work really well and since a couple of eyeshadow products by too faced are at the very top of the bestselling eyeshadow list, i wanna know what you guys think. and if everyone is such a big fan of urban decay shadow then why are too faced products at the top of the list? how do these brands (mac, too faced, urban decay) compare to one another when it comes to eyeshadow?

For me MAC eyeshadows are mostly really good. BUT some shades can be hit or miss. I think the pigmentation of MAC eyeshadows are not very consistent so that's kind of  a bummer.

Some of my face MAC eyeshadows are Parfait Amour, Beautiful Iris, Juxt, Humid, cranberry, and pretty much all of the dark shades.

Some of my least faves from MAC: Creme de Violet, full flame, chrome yellow and orange.

Urban Decay is very pigmented and has a great range to pick from BUT I find their shadows to be very crumbly with a lot of falldown.

Too Faced shadows never dissapoint but as another poster has pointed out, their shade range is lacking.

I hope that helps!

In my opinion the Too Faced matte shadows feel and look softer than the MAC matte shadows. I have never tried the Urban Decay shadows because I have heard too many people complain about the fallout.

If I'm really honest, if I'm investing in matte shadow that's not a black or grey or some other really dark color I would rather go with Make UP Forever eyeshadows over UD, Too Faced or MAC.
